I wish I were the song <br />That comes to your mind when you are happy <br />I wish I were the comforting words <br />Of the song you sing when you are sad <br />Oh! Yes, I wish I were the sun that brightens your day <br />Chasing the nightmares away. <br /> <br />I wish I was that breeze, <br />Gently touching your face <br />Bringing coolness to your day <br />But then I wish I was that darkness <br />Protectively wrapped around you <br />While you are asleep and uncared for. <br />Yeah! I wish I was the breath that passeth your lips <br />Unnoticed, yet so life giving. <br />I wish I was the heart that beats within you <br />Strong, loving and caring but yet so fragile. <br /> <br />I wish I was the spirit, which though battered, <br />Carries you through the storms <br />Flying you high above the mountains of deceit. <br />Bringing out the God in you and making you the person you are. <br />Baby I wish I was your everything.<br /><br />Mpho Petrus Manwedi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-wish-7/
